Reflection (work in progress)Earlier this week I asked my learners to identify the skill they felt they had improved the most, and many of the students said writing. While I am pleased to see the positive results of the online resources created for my learners to help improve their writing, I feel I still have a lot of work to do to help the students in other areas. Therefore, as part of my end-of-the-term reflection and goal setting for the next term, I feel I need to do some planning on how to better help my learners next term in the following areas:
If you feel you would like to collaborate with me regarding the creating of online resources to help our learners become more self-directed learners, please let me know. You may post a message in the 'contact form' placed in the lower right side of the home page of this class Weebly. Thank you! |
